Description Runefang

Black Library novel cover; Β©Games Workshop

Acrylic, Approx 13" x 20".

Original artwork SOLD.

The mythical sword Runefang is capable of destroying all the enemies of the Empire... and it will need to!

This was painted a little while ago, around the same time as Curse of the Necrarch, but I had failed to post it sooner

The composition was dictated to me, but I had fun with portraying the undead, and mass battle scene. I chose a lighter patch of sky and some glint on the blade to add focus to the tip, as I knew the trade dress was going to fall across the middle.

Here it is with the trade dress:

Hakkyou-no-Yami [2010-07-24 03:15:22 +0000 UTC]

now THIS is war....the sword looks simple BUT at the same time hold a rather mysterious air..that could fool most of the eyes.

nice if I say so.

This is fantastic! I recently bought this novel ( I looked up your name in the front page credits in hope of finding more neat art :3 )I found I can't help but stare at it.
This piece has such a great feeling of a muddy and dark atmosphere at the same time being quite clear and easy to see all the details.
And anyone who can illustrate the Empire without making them look like some sort of grim Mardi Gras deserves a medal X'D

Fantastic work!
